Why does ICYDock cause SSD to run at 1/4 speed seen when SSD is plugged directly into MB? !!

I am using it in my early 2006 Mac Pro and it is running it at full speed. Not sure why it is running slower for you.

I wouldn't even bother trying to find out why. My IcyDock EZConvert suddenly at the second insertion, started causing a dim activity light on the 3.5" removable drive bay on which it was inserted and no access at all to the drive contained in the EZConvert unit, even though all hard disks work perfectly with that bay. Probably some bad contact on the connector or something that could even endanger the drive inside the converter. I gave up on this. What a shame, it looked like a nice product.

The 2006 MacPro doesn't support the full speed of an SSD, because of its PCI bus spec. Those Macs were PCI 1.0 I think. So you'd be looking at SATA I speeds at best. If you were using a very fast HDD, an upgrade to a SSD might not give you that big a boost. It certainly won't give you the max speed specs listed for the SSD.

Hello there. Please pardon my ignorance but I don't know what that is. My SSD is currently in my Dell desktop PC

I just got paid version of Tweak-SSD to enable TRIM Optimization and ran it: Now optimizing drive(s) C:\ on disk SanDisk SDSSDP064G ATA Device ----------------- Processing TRIM Data....(27398MB) Optimizing disk and writing TRIM data - completed 20% Optimizing disk and writing TRIM data - completed 40% Optimizing disk and writing TRIM data - completed 60% Optimizing disk and writing TRIM data - completed 80% Freeing up disk space and completing optimization ... The selected disk (partition) was optimized. ----------------- Done. The selected disk and its' partitions were optimized! Windows might slow down over the next few minutes, but this will normalize itself.

Works great as an SSD "dock" I highly recommend the Crucial M500 drive but should work with Samsung

The IcyDock converts an ssd to the size of a regular hard drive. If there's a regular hdd in there now the IcyDock should fit.

I run Yosemite 10.10.2 and have not noticed any difference in boot times (my disk connects via Thunderbolt 1.0, not USB 3.0). It does take the drive several seconds to boot up and become available after it goes to sleep (which is very annoying). The drive is fairly quick to go to sleep after non-use and I regularly have to wait for it to become available again. But it did that with Mountain Lion and Mavericks, too. Despite having to wait for it to wake from sleep I am quite happy with the drive. Having 8TB of space with super-fast data transfer is a joy.

... the drive is actually faster than advertised - maybe your system config needs a little tweaking ...

I can not answer that question because I did not install the SSD. I brought it to the greek squad at Bestbuy. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Yes MSI supports this config...the OS is installed on the SSD. I have had 1 issue with this involving the Blu ray drive and MSI repaired it and noticed that one of the ssd was not running as fast as it should have and replaced it. Glad to see that they checked the whole machine rather then the part specific to the initial problem.

Dear Martin: I don't see why the BP SSD would not work, since according to the review I just read, it is exactly what the BRIX-XM14's Storage Slot is designed to accommodate. I purchased mine for extra storage in my Lenovo Edge 530, where placing it in the slot for Mobile Broadband doubles as a SSD receptacle. Unfortunately, my SSD being placed in this secondary slot is only capable of SATA II processing speeds, where the theoretical maximum Read/Write speeds top out at about 3gb.sec. Placing it in your unit should allow this piece to function at the speeds it was originally designed to achieve, ie. 6gb/sec, which is as pleasant a speed as possible for the most part at this point in time.....I found my BP SSD function flawlessly, at least at the SATA II level. I regard this product as an excellent buy, especially at the prices that were available at the time I purchased mine.....I do hope this has answered your question.....

no its fine. I can guarantee that you will never see the difference between 4 and more on OSX as it will just cache stuff to the ssd which is really fast as well.

I don't believe it's your ssd. I'd try reading your OS. Check your setup parameters.

I'm running it on a Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R mainboard. This week I attached a 250Gb EVO ssd to the IO Crest and the Samsung Magician software is reporting it as a SATA 3 (6Gb/s) interface. My drive benchmarks at 428 (sequential read), 57935 iops (random) and 402 (sequential write), 24716 iops (random), now well below the 540 / 520 max indicated. The drive has slightly better than 50% freespace.

If that is Only 1 USB port then Yes. If that is you have version 1.0 of USB then it may be slow .... check this article and the Crucial website ... -- http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/how-to/laptop/3366618/how-upgrade-your-laptop-hard-disk-ssd/

Well, I have a test tool, that shows 233.7MB/s write and 319.0MB/s read with a SSD drive in an USB 3 enclosure via an iogear USB3 hub.Most USB sticks, or SD cards are way slower than this.The USB3 hub disconnects, when Yosemite goes to sleep. Then via eSata it copies 1.4GB in less than 5s to my backup drive, not sure, if my drive is a bottleneck, but I am happy with the speeds.

Great question! There is a firmware update that just came out for this. Also make sure you never defrag an SSD it will turn it into a paper weight.

I installed a Samsung 840 1TB SATA and an Atlas 480GB MSATA in mine, myself, giving me 1.5TB of 6GB/sec SSD speed. Yes the laptop is still covered under the warranty, just not the drive(s). FYI its LIGHTNING fast, and VERY easy to install the drives, just remove the bottom (6 torx screws) and 4 screws for the SATA and 1 screw for the MSATA
